Customer Reviews of Blondie: Live in New York

Slow Start-but then look out.!
I am a big BLONDIE fan and have been for many,many years(no i'm not going to say how many!).I probably have rated this DVD and their show around four and ahalf stars if possible.Clem Burke gave one heck of a performance,he has lost none of his intensity.The other group members both old and new were also very good but he definately showed the most enthusiam.Debra seemed a little strained on the first two and three songs(of course this could just be persona showing through also).She started to really open up and get into touch with the audience and this is something she is a master at.She took the show over and the entire band gave us glimpse into what has made them of the original and greatest Punk rock groups around.May groups like BLONDIE keep playing until they have to wheel them out on stage and they have to have nurses standing by backstage(the last reference to Debra's own statement at a concert about having their pace makers checked before their encore-no insult intended!). ROCK ON!

A little disappointed...
It is always difficult to review a live dvd I think - you can never capture the atmosphere of a concert.

Blondioe are great live performers though (as is eveident on this dvd), and they perform a good set, mixing the old and new music (which is 'classic' Blondie).

So why am I disappointed? I saw this tour here in the UK, and there is so much missing on this performance. Where are the screens with the incredible imagery for exmaple? This isn't quite the same tour I expected it to be. Maybe the tour developed as it travelled, or maybe this was a one off performance, prior to the tour. Who knows...

Again, I must stress though, that their performance is great as usual, which I suppose is what really matters.

Rock Legends Shine
Deborah Harry is blessed with the best set of vocals in rock music, bar none. Blondie's incredible artistic talent simply shines on this album. Clearly one of the best live recordings of any artist in history. Blondie who amassed 4 American and 5 Bristish #1 Singles 1979-1981, are still today one of the best producing hit machines of last 30 years. This album was recorded in anticaption of their 1999 album "No Exit", it was recorded in the promotional tour of "No Exit", which is why you have songs like the #1 European comeback smash "MARIA" and other tracks like "Forgive and Forget and Boom Boom in the Zoom Zoom Room", which are stellar album cuts, in fact I'm amazed their were not released as singles, they're just perfect pop songs. Blondie has always been known for their ability to make the perfect Pop Song, as evident in songs like "Heart of Glass", 'Call Me" and "Dreaming". This is a must buy, especially if your a fan of Deborah Harry or Blondie. Even in 2003, Blondie are still ALIVE and sounding great.
